Congratulations to the EVE Team!

NASA 36.353 sounding rocket flight to calibrate SDO EVE and several other satellite instruments was a great success. Hre's the proof, exposures from both the MEGS-A and MEGS-B CCDs in the calibration EVE. The top image is from the MEGS-A CCD with MEGS-A1 spectrum on top and MEGS-A2 spectrum and MEGS-SAM X-ray image on the bottom. The bottom CCD image is the MEGS-B spectrum that goes diagonally across the CCD. The bright (yellow and red) vertical stripes are the spectral lines of the Sun that EVE studies. Just seeing these spectral lines means our Sun has a magnetic field. Without the magnetic field this part of the spectrum would be empty.

I can't wait to see the movie.

Congratulations to the EVE for a successful flight!
